Steve & Kate’s Camp Back in Des Moines
If you have children, then you know planning for summer can be a challenge: Choosing a variety of activities. Planning around vacations and friends. Committing to weekly sessions 6 months in advance. But with Steve & Kate’s Camp, your entire summer could be solved!
Steve & Kate’s Camp, which has been a San Francisco Bay Area staple since 1980, is returning for its second summer in Des Moines!
Children will create their own camp experience by choosing from a variety of activities in real-time, including stop-motion animation, coding, sewing, baking, maker crafts, recreation, and more. And parents can buy any number of days, to use whenever they’d like–no weekly sessions are required. They’ll even refund any unused days automatically after summer.
Steve & Kate’s Camp was founded on the belief that trusting a child helps them build their self-confidence and helps teach them to trust their own judgment. As a result, Steve & Kate’s enables kids to express themselves freely. The counselors not only advocate but celebrate children discovering and expressing their true selves by creating an enriching environment and providing a space where children feel included and safe. This experience ultimately helps prepare campers to tackle the challenges of the ever-changing world with creativity and confidence.
There’s plenty of perks for grown-ups, too! Steve & Kate’s Camp operates on a flexible day-pass system where families can sign up for one day here, 22 there, or pay a flat fee, which covers the entire summer. Either way, families can use their passes any day this summer–without advanced notice. There are no weekly sessions or commitments required. And if your plans change, they’ll even refund your unused passes automatically at the end of the season.
Ages 4–12.
Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8 am–6 pm) are included.
